1D Mini Ring Barcode Scanner—178938 User Manual

Chapter 1: Getting Started

Introduction

The Manhattan 1D Mini Ring Barcode Scanner is a productivity tool that is easy to wear and use. It

combines Bluetooth wireless connectivity with hands-free usability and a range of scanning options. This

wearable tech barcode scanner can read almost all 1D barcodes and features enhanced, efficient LED

illumination.

Reading paper and commodity codes, the Bluetooth ring scanner reliably transmits barcode data from

up to 60 feet away. Operators can efficiently, safely and comfortably complete barcode-reading tasks —

all while keeping both hands free. The scanner can be connected with nearly all smart phones, PCs,

tablets, laptops and computers.

Features

• Wireless Bluetooth communication: supports mainstream Android and IOS systems, PCs, tablets,

laptops, and computers

• Automatic reconnection when offline

• Low physical volume for easy carrying or wearing

• Stable and safe data reservation, supporting HID and SPP mode

• Low power consumption

Applications

• Manufacture

• Health-care

• Supermarket

• Retail

• Industrial and logistics

Barcode Overview and Scanning Procedure

Manual Introduction

Manual scanning mode:

1. Press and hold the trigger button; the red light activates.

2. Position the center of the codes under the light, and move the scanner between the codes to find

the best scanning distance.

3. Decoding (reading) is complete when the buzzer sounds and the lights turn off. Codes are

transmitted to the host.

Note: Increase scanning success by finding and maintaining the right reading distance from the same

types of barcodes.

Bluetooth Barcode Scanner Pairing

The Manhattan Wireless 1D Mini Ring Barcode Scanner can be connected to PCs, mobile phones and

other devices according to the user's needs. Scan the programming barcodes on the next page to

configure the scanner.

EZ Pair

One-key pairing

Pairing the Barcode Scanner

1. Push the trigger on the scanner for at least eight seconds to turn it on and enter Pairing Mode. Scan the above

code for easy pairing. The blue indicator LED flashes.

♣ If your computer or device does not support Bluetooth technology, insert the Bluetooth USB dongle

into an available port on that device.

2. Open the Bluetooth app on your computer or device; begin the process to Add a Device by searching for

devices.

3. Find "General Bluetooth HID Barcode Scanner" from the available devices list. Double- or single-click the link to

install the driver.

4. A short beep will sound to confirm the device is paired.

5. The blue LED will remain lit to confirm that pairing is complete.

Bluetooth Modes

The Manhattan Wireless 1D Mini Ring Barcode Scanner allows users to choose from two different modes.

HID mode outputs text directly into receptive fields on a computer or mobile device. SPP mode outputs

data through serial port simulation mode (requires serial software tools to receive data).

Chapter 5: Customized Data Inclusion

Introduction

For some applications, users may wish to include additional information/functionality such as barcode

type, data acquisition time or a delimiter to the barcode data. The functions here can attach customized

prefix and suffix information to the barcode's scanned data or move the cursor to a new field or line

without changing the barcode data itself.

Note: Customized data — <Prefix><Data><Suffix><Terminating Characters>

Prefix/Suffix Values

A prefix and/or suffix can be appended to scan data for use in data editing. To set these values, scan a

four-digit number (i.e. four bar codes) that corresponds to ASCII values. See the Appendix. To change

the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code. In order to use Prefix/Suffix

values, the Scan Data Transmission Format must be set.

Scan Prefix Scan Suffix 1

Data Format Cancel

Scan Data Transmission Format

To change the Scan Data Transmission Format, scan one of the eight bar codes below that

corresponds to the desired format.

*Data Default <DATA> <SUFFIX 1>

Example 1: To set character “L” as prefix and “P” as suffix.

1. Scan programming barcode <PREFIX> <DATA> <SUFFIX 1>,

2. Scan programming code Scan Prefix

3. Scan Numeric barcodes “1” ,“0”, “7”, “6”

1D Mini Ring Barcode Scanner User Manual

4. Scan programming code Scan Suffix 1

5. Scan Numeric barcodes “1” ,“0”, “8”, “0”

6. The setting is complete; the barcode data will be received as L<Data>P

Example 2: To set character “L” as prefix

1. Scan programming barcode <PREFIX> <DATA>

2. Scan Numeric barcodes “1” ,“0”, “7”, “6”

3. The setting is complete; the barcode data will be received as L<Data>

Example 3: To set character “P” as suffix

1. Scan programming barcode <DATA> <SUFFIX 1>

2. Scan Numeric barcodes “1” ,“0”, “8”, “0”

3. The setting is complete; the barcode data will be received as <Data>P
